Online Counselling

This is a focused, professional training course in online counselling, including practical experience of working with real online clients.

The Internet is an increasingly important route for providing advice and support – it is the place many people turn to first for help. This 6-module home study course explores the explosion in Online Counselling, and the skills required to provide effective distance support. This course is designed for qualified counsellors who have already completed their counselling diploma and would now like to develop the online side of their practice.

The course fee includes all required course material and full tutorial support. Students have up to three years to complete this course, allowing them to work through the modules at their own pace.Students have up to 12 months to complete this course, allowing them to work through the modules at their own pace. On average, however, it takes students around 6 – 8 months to complete the course, based on 4 – 5 hours study time per week.

Before undertaking practical work students must first successfully pass 3 course assignments. They should also have a Diploma in Counselling or equivalent, as a minimum, and some face-to-face counselling experience. Our tutorial team can offer further advice on suitable qualifications or other requirements, so please get in touch if you are not sure.

As noted, this course assumes some knowledge of face-to-face counselling and is ideal for counsellors who would like to transfer their existing face-to-face skills to online communication.

“Online services in mental health are here to stay. In fact, all trends indicate that these services will continue to grow and proliferate with the enormous growth of the Web in general, and the steady increase in numbers of people who are getting online.”

This is an informative course. It was extremely useful as I began working with online clients and helped me to build confidence in a medium that is different in many ways from face-to-face counselling. My tutor was helpful and knowledgeable. Highly reommended!
